"Brother Congtang, what do you think? Have you thought it through?"
"Brother, do you think so highly of Chen Yu?"
"Why, are you still hesitating?"
Whether he won the bet with Chen Yu or not, Shi Zhenrong had already made his decision.
He wanted to persuade Asus, which Shi Congtang was in charge of, to try to cooperate with Huanyu Technologies.
"Congtang, you've become indecisive."
"I don't want to either."
Shi Congtang shook his head. "It's just that the bigger the business, the more I don't dare to change direction."
"I'm not asking you to join Huanyu's camp, just to try to cooperate with Huanyu Technologies."
"We can consider entering the all-in-one PC market."
"What about installing the Huanyu system on traditional PCs?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. Also … "
"Also what?"
"Microsoft's Vista may be released this year."
…
"All-in-one PC, I didn't expect Huanyu Technologies to come up with a new product."
Microsoft.
Bill was a little helpless.
He didn't expect Huanyu Technologies to come up with a new PC product.
Although Bill thought that this PC product was a sneaky change of concept.
It was still a PC.
It was just a series of hardware integrated into the display panel.
But even if you thought that it was a sneaky change of concept, it actually attracted a lot of consumers.
What was even more unacceptable to Bill was that …
Huanyu Technologies had done this sneaky change of concept four times.
The first time was the introduction of netbooks.
The second time was the introduction of games.
The third time was the introduction of Super TV.
The fourth time was this all-in-one PC.
Whether it was netbooks, games, or Super TV, and now the all-in-one PC, they were all niche products.
But the accumulation of niche products was not to be underestimated.
"Bill, is our Vista?"
Steve pursed his lips.
Steve really had a headache when it came to Huanyu Technologies.
In fact, Huanyu Technologies's market share in the operating system market was still not very big.
Logically speaking, they should ignore it.
But the more he worked on the operating system, the more Steve knew.
In their eyes, there could only be one operating system in the world, and there must be one operating system.
No matter how small the proportion of Huanyu's system was, he had already challenged Microsoft.
Moreover, the Huanyu system was not comparable to other Linux systems or Apple systems.
Although the Huanyu system was built on the basis of the Linux kernel,
However, the Linux system was mostly used in the server field and in the research stage of computer hobbyists.
He didn't really enter the group of ordinary users.
Although the Apple system had many fans, it was too closed. It was impossible for him to spread the news.
But Huanyu's system was different.
He was born to challenge Microsoft Windows.
Moreover, they were smart enough to know that it was very difficult to challenge Windows, so they separated by a few steps.
Netbooks, game books, super TVs, all-in-one computers … these seemed to be separate, but they all used the same Huanyu system. Once the Huanyu system's market share increased, a series of hardware and software manufacturers would develop complementary products.
This wasn't because of Huanyu Technologies' charm.
This was because of the benefits.
Because the major hardware and software manufacturers realized that they had a seemingly good market share.
The original Vista, according to Microsoft's plan, was to be released in 2007.
But now, some of them couldn't wait.
They didn't want the Huanyu system to be too big.
Once they were big, they didn't even need to be.
Even if the Huanyu system accounted for 20% of the global operating system market share, Microsoft still had a lot of pressure.
In fact, even Microsoft was under a lot of pressure.
In the past few months, Microsoft's stock hadn't risen much.
The market also seemed to be dissatisfied with Microsoft.
If Microsoft didn't respond, Microsoft's stock price would start to decline.
"Steve, release it."
When Steve turned to ask him, Bill confirmed.
"Really?"
Steve confirmed again.
"Of course."
Seeing that Steve was a little stunned, Bill said, "What, Steve, you don't have confidence in Vista?"
"No, of course not."
"Then why?"
"I'm just thinking, Bill, how long has it been since we took an opponent so seriously?"
"About ten years."
Steve's words reminded Bill of the battles between Microsoft, IBM, Apple, and a series of giants in the past.
At that time, Microsoft wasn't as powerful as it was now.
But Microsoft had successfully introduced their Windows operating system to the rest of the world through their efforts in the market.
Until now, they had monopolized the operating system market for ten years.
And within ten years, they had almost no opponents.
They had thought about it before.
In the future, even if they had opponents in the operating system market, it would only be IBM and Apple.
But now, their opponent wasn't IBM or Apple.
It was Huanyu Technologies from China.
"Steve, don't think too much. Actually, you know what? I'm getting excited again. Just like when we released Windows 95. "
"I'm a little excited too. Vista is a revolutionary operating system. I'm excited just thinking about it."
"If that's the case, then what are we waiting for?"
"Bill, don't worry, I know what to do."
After getting Bill's approval, the CEO of Microsoft, Steve, started his operation.
As Microsoft's most important product, Vista naturally couldn't be released with a press release right away.
For Microsoft, this is an important product, and Microsoft had to promote it several times before it is released.
For example, this was the first time.
A major news outlet revealed to the public that Microsoft was about to release its latest operating system.
When this news came out, it instantly caused a sensation around the world.
Even though this news didn't even know the name of the new operating system.
But when the world heard this news, countless spectators had already joined in the discussion about Microsoft's latest operating system.
"Brothers, did you hear? Microsoft is about to release its latest operating system."
"Yes, I heard. XP was released in 2001. It's now 2006, and it's time for a new operating system."
"I heard that Microsoft's new operating system has an unparalleled interface. It's the most technologically advanced and beautiful operating system in history."
"Stop talking. I just want to know when the operating system will be released. I want to be the first to experience it."
That's right.
Microsoft's latest operating system had such magical powers.
This was similar to Apple's release of a new operating system in Feng Yu's previous life.
Often, as long as there was a bit of news, even if it was just a bit of information, it would cause countless consumers to go crazy.
This might seem unbelievable, but it was normal.
Because behind all this craze was the recognition of Microsoft's capabilities.
In their eyes.
The most technologically advanced IT company in history was Microsoft.
